Come watch, walk or ride in the parade, eat burgers/hot dogs, listen to Austin Civic Wind Ensemble, meet neighbors, win prizes, support our neighborhood & park and celebrate our Independence as a nation!!
The Patriotic Contest will be held for the best decorated walkers, riders and/or float so grab your friends and neighbors and get decorating!! The 1st prize will be Schlitterbahn tickets courtesy of Austin Kid’s Directory! Everyone in the parade is eligible and anyone can join in the parade – just gather at Milwood Baptist Church around 9:30am and fall in line. Parade kicks off at 10am.
Patriotic Music will begin soon after the parade arrives at the park. We are so very excited to have Austin Civic Wind Ensemble back this year!
